    I have a problem

    What size should I be moving to for my cable from battery to inverter? 50-60% from charge controller. Tested with battery tester today at 71% on CC and the battery tester said "good". I can't replace that until shops open up from pandemic restrictions so cannot provide accurate % from that...

    yes, it remains steady at between 12.8V-14.5V. Should I be changing my inverter size? Cable sizes- 10AWG/ gauge for solar panels to charge controller, as per solar place's recommendation. Inverter to battery- 4 AWG/gauge, as per solar place recommendation. battery to solar charger- 4AWG/gauge...

    I have a problem

    Armada ARC60-MPPT Solar Charge Controller connected to the batteries and inverter. I had the batteries down to 40% the other day but was still only pulling 118W in from the panels.

    I have a problem

    I very recently connected my system and i'm happy to say that it works! I'm running with 3, 310 watt panels with MPPT Solar Charge Controller, 4000 watt inverter and deep cycle battery bank (4x 12V). My issue is that the charge controller display tells me how much watts I'm bringing in and it...
